Garments made from ?Merino Retract? yarns have the attractive look and feel of boiled wool, but have none of the deficiencies of normal boiled wool products. The garments are fully machine washable and have excellent stretch recovery properties, so they don?t suffer from bagging.
AWI general manager of product development and commercialisation Jimmy Jackson said there had been a lot of interest in the ?Merino Retract? technology, which is part of AWI?s Merino Casual autumn/winter 2011/12 collection.
